Yes, it does benefit the GC to set the properties to null. Doing so removes the references from the element (that is contained in the DOM) to the handler function, and given that it probably is the only reference to…
If for some bizarre reason you don’t know at run-time if an object has dispose implemented, you can use this dispose-safe function: /// —- IsDisposable ——————————– /// /// <summary> /// returns true if an object is disposable, false if not…
C++ destruction is deterministic, garbage collection is not. In C++ you can guarantee when destructors will be called, in Java there is no such guarantee at all. In fact, your destructors might never be called in Java. 3 solved What…
At least two, potentially all three of them. Since the local variables are not used after line 11 the JVM is free to set them to null, and they become eligible for garbage collection. From JLS 12.6.1: Optimizing transformations of…
What algorithms are used? Java uses TLAB (Thread Local Allocation Buffers) for “normal” sized objects. This means each thread grab some Eden space and turns this grab of memory into individual objects. Thus small objects are typically sequential in memory…
Amit i’ve seen your other question, what matters is always only reachability, it doesn’t matter how you use student, it will always be reachable until the class that contains it is reachable. Update, regarding the question you added: I mean…
You should call Dispose(). Even if that doesn’t mean all memory gets freed immediately, all resources opened by the form (timers, files, etc.) should be closed then, if the form is programmed properly. Of course, the form will also be…
No, the destructor (~myClass) just does the stuff you want him to do when an object is no longer needed, like freeing resources (files, connections, …). Its the opposite of the constructor (myClass), where you set up your object (getting…
